if your knots done right it goes through the guides well anyway. always useful to have a proper popping rod though that has bigger guides to maximize our distance. wraps onto the reel ]]> Tue, 04 Jan 2011 15:33:57 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58902&PID=874319&title=leader-length#874319 <![CDATA[leader length? : I use stickbaits and poppers from...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58902&PID=874291&title=leader-length#874291 Author: hardstickbaiter

A variation on the FG is the 'Sebel Knot', I use a combo of the two. The 'Sebel' way makes the 1st  part of a 'FG'  easy by lapping the braid from a rod tip rather than your fingers, then finish it off with the standed 1/2 hitches .

Try and tie one, you dont need your teeth to tie a great knot.

found some clips on utube about FG's, looks like u need a good set of teeth to do it LOL.

I find on the PR, if you dont burn the tag end of the leader, short tight bobbin turns and half hitches is sweet for casting.

It's called independent learning MikeWink ask your other half, she may be able to interpret.

Start longer with a few wraps on your spool and trim as you see fit after a few casts- the actual length will vary depending on how much drop you give the lure,some use very little i.e 30cm some use up to 1.5 m.
 
Put a fair bit of acid on a of FG yesterday popping and jigging,I really cant see me going past this knot...I have been jigging with it for months had no issues, period - I moved from being a one eyed wind on user to a one eyed FG user - go figure.

Got a stickbait for you to try bro, it's too heavy for my rod. Did you end up getting that Van Stahl?

Link to what? the knot? I saw JK's post yesterday and youtube'd it, and saw it was the same as the slim beauty I had previously been using. (Unless I am mistaken)
